A Savannah Sparrow was found singing on territory Tuesday (6/28), establishing
a new breeding season species for Sullivan County in Northeast Tennessee.
Dave Worley and I discovered the bird singing from a fence post at 1620 ft.
elevation. It is normally a higher elevation species during the breeding
season.
It is a rare summer species over most of our region. It has expanded southward
through the mountains into Johnson Co. since 1991. There are a handfull of
records in Carter, Washington, Hawkins and Cocke counties.
Let's go birding......
